I used WLED 5-LED Wide Angle LED and 74 Wedge Base LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com. One is 3 down from the top and the other is the 12th one down. You just pull the bulbs out of the bases and replace them with the LEDs.

Yup. Thats it.

Well, I called a few dealerships. A Q45 TB w/ TPS is $598. GT V6 Tiburon driver and passenger seats are $3000. And I also like the new Mazda3 seats. They are very comfortable and stylish. They are $1500 for both. So the Mazda3 seats are a definitely a possibility. But they are ungodly heavy because of the airbag system they put in it.

do you replaced the fabric on the doors or can you just paint that too?......also how much was a new carpet?and if your carpet is in good shape is there a way to dye that so its' black?

I actually found door panels with vinyl inserts on them instead of the cloth. And I just spray painted those. The carpet was about $264. I think they do have a dye for the carpet. Not sure how well it works tho.


Update - I've found the seats I want. Its final. Recaro Speed. All black with the red Recaro logo and red stitching. It's well worth the money.

Ok. So I drove a new C6 corvette today. All you have to do to start the car is have the alarm remote in ur pocket and press the button. And I like that. SO! Ive decided to completely get rid of the key and have the keypad starter kill and a push button start where my cig lighter is. So all i need to do is put in the code and hit the button. When I get the keypad starter kill installed next week I'll ask the guy if this is possible to do. It sounds like it is, and im hoping it is. But we'll see.

i got a new carpet for about $145 but it doesnt have the hatch carpet. and it only took about 4 days to get it.

Ok. I've decided to rewrap my stock seats with black vinyl and red stitching. My brother hooked me up with someone "that will rewrap my interior for a good price." Not sure how good. I'll talk to him soon and let you all know. I am waiting for money to get into my paypal so I can get a shift boot and e-brake boot in black vinyl with red stitching. Someone on another forum is making them. I havent had much time to do anything. Im looking for a way to redo the bottom carpet part of the door panel where the pocket is. I sprayed a part of it with the interior spray and it came out somewhat good. But not what I'm looking for. I also spray painted the extra damaged fender with the spray paint and it came out a lot better than the rest of the paint on my car. Lol. O well. I'll have some more pics up soon.

I still dont have the damned alarm keypads I ordered last Monday. I called on Tues and they said they shipped it out already. And then I called again on Fri to get the tracking number and they said they already shipped it out that morning. And I still dont have a tracking number. On top of that, I had to call a California number in order to check the status of an order and they left me on hold for about 10 mins. So that was nice of them.
